Paul Wheaton talks with Jocelyn Campbell about Wanderlust, the movie. It is a comedy about a couple that goes to live in an " intentional community ," which is more of a dysfunctonal commune . One funny part is having a "truth circle" in which everyone has had psychadelics in their tea without their knowing, and its just an opportunity to dump lots of hostile feelings. There is lots of free love and drugs. Paul talks about how music sharing is one of the coolest parts of...

The focus of this podcast is on my article about chickens . In the very beginning I mention my site about java programming. Of course, all of these podcasts are about permaculture . Nearly all of the discussion about this article can be found in the critter care forum at permies. During the podcast, we mentioned the tinkering forum to make requests for future podcasts.
